Sweet Thing #10 - candy bartender

it's been quite some time since i've posted a sweet thing (much too long). sweet things are kind of like a martha stewart "good things" but with a one love photo wedding spin. our featured sweet things are clever and creative things that our clients do to add a personal touch to their weddings. such as this colorful candy bar from mary and erik's christmas wedding!

what made their candy bar extra special was that a good friend dressed up in a cute apron and took on the role as their "candy bartender". she set it all up and kept it tidy. she explained which were mary and erik's favorite treats. and she helped all their guests dig in and not be shy! with her encouragement no one felt guilty about getting a sugar buzz on before dinner was served. candy bars are a really easy and great way to treat your guests. add cute bags to the table for them to fill up and you have a perfect gift.

oh how cute! mary is passing on her favorite (gummy sharks) and eating erik's candy of choice, orange slices! i have to vote for erik's favorite on this one. the other day at the zoo, my dad and nephews were having a weird conversation about meat. my dad was asking them what was their favorite type of meat to have for dinner. am thinking it seemed weird to me since i don't eat meat and we were at the zoo. i had to laugh out loud when my nephew reece quickly replied "gummy hamburgers from grandma sally's!" he is our junk food kid through and through. warning: don't let him anywhere near your candy bar.

love this....dinner roll in one hand and orange slice in the other!

we seem to attract very clever and creative couples and feel so privileged to work with them! the other
day my mom asked me if all our clients were graphic designers and
artists, i laughed and replied "it certainly seems that way, doesn't
it?!" feel free to visit past "sweet things" and get inspired while reading about our client's awesome weddings here and here.
